Know before you buy
These are 5-pin switches with an MX-style cross mount, making them compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support Cherry MX-style switches. Please verify that your keyboard PCB supports 5-pin switches before purchasing.
The Linear Red provides a smooth, consistent keystroke without a bump. The Tactile Brown features a distinct, heavier bump for physical feedback, while the Clicky White adds both a tactile bump and an audible 'click' sound with each press.
The Linear Red and Tactile Brown switches come factory pre-lubricated for a smooth feel right out of the box. The Clicky White version is not factory-lubed, as adding lubricant can often dampen the intended clicky sound profile.
The double dust-proof design features a box-shaped stem that helps prevent dust and debris from entering the internal switch mechanism. This design also provides extra stability to the stem, reducing keycap wobble during typing.
Yes, these switches are designed for compatibility with various LED types. The housing is optimized for light transmission, ensuring your keyboard's backlight shines through clearly.
